Another voice has chimed in on the cancellation of the Hoboken Saint Patrick's Day parade.

In an editorial published this morning on The Irish Echo online, the author, who said he has attended the parade in the past, praised the cancellation and said Hoboken may not be the only city to decided whether or not it can afford the cost to hold the parade.

"No offense to the hard-working volunteers who organized the event, but the fact is that the parade brought in lots of young adults intent on proving that you don’t have to live near a beach to act like a character from 'Jersey Shore'," writes Terry Golway, author of the editorial.

"Picture Snooki with freckles, and 'The Situation' with red hair. That pretty much sums up the city’s annual tribute to all things Irish," adds Golway, referring to two "Jersey Shore" cast members.
